We are looking for an experienced, enthusiastic, kind and energetic part time nanny to care for our 18 month old, 3 days per week (Mon-Wed). We would love our nanny to be an extension of the family and to be able to help with light duties around the house including cooking/meal prep for the family.

I’m looking for a warm, reliable and experienced part-time nanny for my two boys, aged 7 and 4, in Fitzroy North.

My older son has autism and ADHD, so I’m particularly keen to find someone with genuine hands-on experience supporting neurodivergent children. It would be wonderful to find someone who understands sensory needs, emotional regulation and transitions, and can provide calm, consistent and positive support.

The role involves caring for both boys, with additional support for my older son, and helping create a settled, enjoyable routine for the children. I’m hoping to find someone who would like to become a trusted, long-term part of our family. It would start with weekend work and hopefully move to after school and school holiday care from term 1 next year.

I’m open to a nanny with a background in early childhood education, disability support or professional nannying, provided they have relevant experience and a warm, neurodiversity-affirming approach.

We have an approximate budget of $35–$45 per hour, depending on experience and the arrangement.

Looking for a fun, reliable, creative, hardworking and honest babysitter for afternoon school pick ups, to engage and play with our 9 year old daughter or take to specialist classes - Ballet, Basketball, Swimming.

We are seeking a caring and experienced nanny to be part of our family in Camberwell/Canterbury area, Melbourne on Mondays and Thursdays. for after school pick ups as we look after our three wonderful kids (girl age 9 who loves arts and crafts, boy age 11 who is basketball mad and boy age 14 who will pretty much look after himself). Our current nanny has unfortunately had to move back interstate for personal reasons. The ideal person will enjoy looking after children and will need to be comfortable driving our children in our automatic car to drop them off on their activities (around 5 - 10 mins away). and do light household duties associated with the kids (such as cooking for them and sorting out their laundry).

We offer competitive pay starting from $34 per hour. If you are dedicated, nurturing, and ready to be a part of our family, we would love to hear from you! Hours will be from 3.00pm to approximately 8.00 pm every Mondays and Thursdays. and must be able to start by first week of November. This is a permanent role at least until 17 December. If you are free, there will be some occasional Wednesdays or Tuesdays after school which we will need help too but that will be subject to your availability. If you would like to continue, we would also love for you to continue once the summer holidays end and school starts at end of January 2027 but we're also happy for you to finish up on 17 December if you prefer.
You must be a confident driver and ideally 20 years +.

I am looking for a caring and reliable babysitter for my 8-year-old daughter, who has travelled the world, and is very sophisticated for her age. She is also at times very strong headed. So, a babysitter in 20’s range, in my opinion, always works best for her, as she relates better to this age group.

Looking for somebody to start ASAP, which can involve picking daughter up from Fitzroy North Primary or her extracurricular classes, when she finishes and watching her during the evening. Looking for somebody to begin next week, and for afternoons/evenings concentrated from mid Oct through Nov 5th. This role is more flexible rather than on a fixed schedule.

Must have experience, and references that can be provided, and preferably close by to Fitzroy where we currently live. Pls respond with availability. Happy to arrange a paid trial first.

Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from you.

We’re looking for a reliable and trustworthy babysitter to help care for our 17-month-old son, on an ad hoc basis, sometimes with fairly short notice.

We’re relatively new to Melbourne and don’t have family support nearby, so we’d love to find someone local who we can build an ongoing relationship with and feel comfortable contacting when we need an extra pair of hands.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has a current WWCC and Police Check
• Has experience with, or is very confident caring for, children around 17 months old
• Is reliable, responsible and genuinely comfortable with young children
• Lives in or close to Surrey Hills
• Is available during weekday working hours, generally between 9am–6pm
• Is comfortable being in a home with a cat - no pet care is required, he’ll simply be around!

The work would be casual/ad hoc rather than set weekly hours, and occasionally we may need someone at relatively short notice, so someone with a bit of flexibility would be ideal.

We’d really love to find someone warm, dependable and trustworthy who can become a familiar person for our little boy rather than having to find a different babysitter each time.

If you’re interested, please send me a message with a little bit about yourself, your experience with young children, your general availability and your hourly rate. 🤍

Hi babysitters,

My name is Madeleine. I’m mum of two little girls aged 3 and 1. We are looking for someone to help our busy family out.

Our arrangement can be flexible but would look something like this:

Arrive 7:45 to help with girls’ morning routine. This may involve breakfast, getting them dressed, changing nappies, reading stories, packing schoolbags.

Then take the girls to daycare (1km away)

Then we would love you to return to the house for some light cleaning and organising. This would mean things like, picking up lego, cleaning up from breakfast, folding some laundry (if needed) and then helping to get our evening meal ready. That would mean chopping a few things up to make our evening smoother.

I would say the time would be 745-10:30ish. But we can work out whats needed.

As a family, we are very approachable, kind people and our girls are our absolute priority. We would love you to genuinely be interested in children and take pride in being an extension of our family. We are based in Hawthorn East.

Thanks,

Madeleine
